(EDITORIAL] America: A sick nation

America is a sick nation getting sicker as are we who live in America. Otherwise, how could we allow Planned Parenthood to continue to be funded with tax dollars?

Caught in another video released yesterday by the Center for Medical Progress similar to one it released last week, Planned Parenthood defends its practice of harvesting organs during abortions that it will sell while “ferociously” defending its image “as an organization primarily focused on women’s health and only secondarily involved in funding abortions,” says Carter Snead, director of the Center for Ethics and Culture and a law professor at the University of Notre Dame on Fox News.
“Regardless of the legal technicalities involved, which should be investigated,” he continues, “the words of Dr. Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s medical director, last week and Dr. Mary Gatter, president of its Council of Medical Directors, make it perfectly clear that Planned Parenthood’s business is killing.” Said Dr. Nucatola last week:
You try to intentionally go above and below the thorax so that, you know — we’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver, because we know that — so I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact. … And for that reason, most providers will do this case under ultrasound guidance, so they’ll know where they’re putting their forceps. 
Asked in the Center for Medical Progress’s video “What would you expect for intact [fetal] tissue?” Dr. Gatter replies, 
Well, why don’t you start by telling me what you’re used to paying. 
You know in negotiations whoever throws out the figure first is at a loss, right? I just don’t want to lowball. 
Suggesting $75 a specimen, she says: 
We’re not in it for the money. The money is not the important thing. But what were you thinking of? It has to be big enough that it’s worthwhile for me …
Let me just figure out what others are getting, and if this is in the ballpark then it’s fine, if it’s still low, then we can bump it up. I want a Lamborghini.
She adds: 
Let me explain to you a little bit of a problem, which may not be a big problem. If our usual technique is suction, at 10 to 12 weeks, and we switch to using an IPAS [manual vacuum aspirator] or something with less suction, in order to increase the odds that it will come out as an intact specimen, then we’re kind of violating the protocol that says to the patient, “We’re not doing anything different in our care for you.” Now, to me, that’s kind of a specious little argument, and I wouldn’t object to asking Ian — who’s our surgeon who does the cases — to use an IPAS at that gestational stage, in order to increase the odds that he’s going to get an intact specimen. But I do need to throw it out there as a concern because the patient is signing something and we’re signing something that’s saying, “We’re not changing anything with the way we’re managing you, just because you agree to give tissue.”
She’s talking about human beings. She also talking about, says Mr. Carter, “Crushing human bodies, evacuating human skulls, harvesting human vital organs for a fee. This is what Planned Parenthood does. This is its business.”
In her own video, says Kathryn Jean Lopez on National Review Online, Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina calls out Democrats for protecting abortion in America rather than women and the basic human rights of the unborn saying:
Every woman and every man has to look at these videos and think: What has gone wrong in our nation. The hypocrisy of telling women over and over again that their unborn children are not life and yet talking calmly about how to preserve the organs of that life to save another life. The cruelty of denying women over and over again ultrasounds so that they can see the life they carry within them and yet using that same technology to make sure that organs are preserved so that they can be presumably sold to save others. 
This is a terrible moment. And it is made more terrible by the absolute deafening silence of the Democrat party. Democrats have always fought for a policy that says it is not a life until it leaves the hospital. Hillary Clinton has fought to defend that policy. 
So Ms. Fiorina points out that Democrats deny women ultrasounds of their unborn but use ultrasounds to guide abortionists in extracting unborn body parts. 
According to its most recent annual report, in 2013 Planned Parenthood performed 327,653 abortions — 94% of all pregnancy services during this period.
At $500 per abortion, says Mr. Carter, roughly $164 million a year is almost 54% of its non-government health service revenue for 2013. Taxpayers provided $540 million.
President Obama and all the Democrat presidential candidates wholeheartedly approve.
Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio and Texas are investigating Planned Parenthood. North Carolina should to.
In Sunday’s editorial we quoted American Thinker contributor Daniel John Sobieski saying: “Planned Parenthood’s operation strays perilously close to the territory of Dr. Joseph Mengele, the Nazi ‘doctor’ who justified his ghastly practices in the name of research.” 
What a statement! Democrats champion this and Americans allow it, aborting 60 million children and funding it with their tax dollars. That is unbelievable!
